Ok, so I thought I had seen every type of skin texture and knew how to handle them all. Well, so I had thought, and then I came across a face with skin I can only describe as Alligator Skin. The skin was dry, with almost an eczema type texture across the whole face. It negated all my usual techniques and I was at a loss. I had no choice but to call my mentor and ask for help. I hadn’t encountered it before and I prayed that perhaps she had the remedy. Thank God, she did! So even after years of doing makeup, I can still be surprised and need a little help. So, here’s the recipe for Alligator Skin so you don’t have to be surprised yourself!
1. Preparation H full face
2. Let sit for ten to fifteen minutes
3. Exfoliate and Buff Preparation H off with a Wash Cloth over entire face – You can use a Baby Wipe in a Pinch
4. Spray witch hazel or toners over entire face to close and tighten pores and remove Preparation H Residue
5. Apply moisturizer – let sit 5mins
6. Apply Primer – let sit 5mins
7. Apply liquid foundation with a stippling brush in very light circular motions
8. Do NOT apply any powder
9. Spray entire face with MAC Fix+ Spray
10. Spray with the PPI Blue Marble Selr
